the best World Cup I can remember. Lots of incident, remarkably few really tedious games, not too many games decided on pelanties and the best team won it. Most satisfactory - for international football.

All very enjoyable and has certainly filled that tedious summer gap.Originally Posted by Burney
We also appear to have picked up some decent additions whilst I've been away
No Oranje, no party b.
Otherwise it was fun, I grant you. Especially seeing the likes of Argentina and Germany going home so early
Yes. I'm also prepared to concede that England having a decent run gave it an extra piquancy it might otherwise have lacked.

I did think the Dutch thing was a shame, but the fact is that they're a bit dogsh1t at the moment.

I would argue that Italy's absence was a major factor in its watchability. I think they ought to be banned permanently from World Cups.

Bosman killed Dutch football.

I think the advantage they had for all those years was having a system that was geared to producing footballers for whom technique was ingrained, from the age of 6 onwards. Technique, technique, technique. Teaching kids to love the football and to bend the ball to their will.
Now every **** does it.
It all seemed a bit meh in the end. France were the best side but at the same time they didn't really look very good.
Germany going out early made it a good world cup
Lots ofSpurs players went deep into the tournament, most of ours were home nice and early. That's nice
